Wireless fingerprint token
Télécommande à empreinte.
I have collected here portable devices able to recognize a fingerprint for an individual use: the whole process is executed on-board, and an order is sent outside using wireless means.

iCache
- (2007 Jan) The iCache device is able to house the data from all your credit cards, debit cards and basically anything with a magnetic stripe. Once the information is saved it’s secured by a biometric fingerprint scanner on the front. Whenever a credit card is needed for a purchase, users can select the appropriate card from the menu on the iCache gadget and the magnetic stripe on the iCache credit card will be temporarily encoded with the appropriate swipe data.
Pierson Capital Technology
- (2008 Jan) The Pierson Capital Technology unveils the MobiKey System, a result of successful synergy of its biometric dynamic pin genarator with an end-to-end processing software and years of research and development. The System provides a state of the art, fully integrated, 3-Factor Authentication platform with no changes required in the banking industry infrastructure itself.

So it took 9 years from the concept to the first real product!
Zwipe (formerly OrigoID)
- (2013 Mar) zwipe demonstrates a "fingerprint card",
wireless (MIFARE), with a swipe fingerprint sensor.
Along with the fingerprint scanner, there are two "ground plates" which is rather unusual. Datasheet: 128x8 pixels, 508 dpi: FPC1080A from Fingerprint Cards or 1750 from Authentec, no more available, so it is the Fingerprint Cards sensor.
Bionym
- (2013) Bionym will propose the Nymi, a plastic wristband using a biometric sensor to authenticate identity through a person’s unique electrocardiogram.
Bionym has developed the first wearable authentication device that utilizes
a user's Electrocardiogram (ECG) to validate a person’s identity.
The Nymi has two electrodes, one on the wrist and one on the top.
To authenticate, a user must attach the Nymi, and then place their finger on the top electrode
to complete the electric current.
A user only needs to validate their identity once, until the Nymi is removed.
The closed loop keeps the Nymi in an authenticated state,
removing all need for repeated prompts (such as in fingerprint scanning or PIN requests).
Once authenticated, the Nymi communicates the user’s identity to a device
(such as a smartphone, vehicle, elctronic lock, or even a smart environtment)
using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).
The Nymi also has an integrated accelerometer and gyroscope,
which will pick up on your movements, allowing for simple, task-specific gesture recognition.
Motion sensing works in unison with proximity detection and identity authentication
to ensure only you can remotely access the devices you want to engage with.
